Description

Two electrifying legal thrillers in one bumper volume from the author of The Firm. The Pelican Brief Two Supreme Court Judges are dead. Their murders are connected only in one mind, and in one legal brief, conceived by that mind. Law student Darby Shaw thinks she has found the obscure link between the two murders and in a meticulous but wildly speculative brief she names the suspect Realizing her life is threatened she goes underground until journalist Gray Grantham discovers new evidence, which leads him to believe that Darby has stumbled upon the biggest cover-up since Watergate. Their only aim is to stay alive to expose the real truth behind The Pelican Brief. A Time to Kill When a black man guns down the two whites who raped his ten-year-old daughter, the people of Clanton, Mississippi see their town fill with an angry mob. The young defence lawyer Jake Brigance may be risking more than his career when he takes the case. --front flap
